While the sectors that hold back the pace of Batam's economic growth in 2019 were the transportation and warehousing industry, which is -17.02 percent. As well as company services or business activities which grew -8.74 percent.

Rahyudin said that for 2020 there was a possibility of a slowdown in the pace of economic growth. Because at the beginning of the year, the world was being attacked by a Corona virus outbreak. According to him, this will greatly affect the economy in Batam. (*)
